Re: Email Address List Hijacked

**"* P* <R*@comcast.net>**

Yes, a made up an email starting with AAA's so it goes to the top of your
list and bounces if anyone grabs the list. I still do it...only I have 2
now...just in case...and my list has never been grabbed...but maybe I'm just
lucky...

Yes, techies...does this work, or am I just lucky...?

What do you mean by a "bad" e-mail? One you make up that does not exist?
What say ye out there, the more tech savvy, would this work?

A way long time ago when I first started emailing...someone told me to put a
fake email at the top of my address list. The theory was...if a computer
program got a hold of the list...the first email would throw it out of the
program...

Since this was eons ago...it probably doesn't work anymore...or the
harvesters get around it...but I actually still have two bad emails at the
top of my list...and nobody...knock on wood immediately...has pulled my
list...

Techies feel free to jump all over this as an urban legend...but I'm keeping
my 2 bad emails at the top...!
